Not sure what to say?

Bobby I was asking Tom White if he had heard from you. We had such good times in our SKAL (hospitality,tourism group) thru the years. So glad you accepted Christ as your savior, tell all of our friends that have passed hello and they like you are missed. Hugs

In Dallas in 1971, I was sat with my boss Ed Smith who picked up the phone and after a few minutes said 'I don't know Bobby, speak to Peter.' That same year I flew to Orlando from the UK to meet.

Bobby and I met at U of F , he a combat vet back from Korea. We tried to drink all the beer in Alachua County. We failed but kept them working overtime. We had some great friends living up at the "house on the Hill". Bobby was the best I ever knew at keeping friendships going.

We'd load up a cooler with wine,...

I don´t believe I have met anyone who consistently embraced life as positively as Bobby. He always had an infectious laugh and good natured attitude. He loved to talk about interesting books he was reading or current affairs. He was honest and tenacious about standing by his convictions. He could talk about any subject and on fishing trips we talked often about faith. I am delighted to read that his granddaughter Olivia led him to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior. Hallelujah!
